Curtissey of Classic Airframes: the P-6E

by Kyle Koppos on September 19, 2023 · in Aviation · 21 ≡

by Louis Gardner on September 6, 2023 · in Aviation · 35 ≡

This is a build that I had started a while ago. My very first model I built was the old 1/32 scale Revell P-40E "Flying Tigers" model. I was 8 years old. I was captivated by the box art, showing a P-40 diving through a [...]

1/48 Curtiss CW-22B - RNEIAF.

by John Healy on March 28, 2023 · in Aviation · 22 ≡

by Spiros Pendedekas on May 3, 2022 · in Aviation · 26 ≡

Hi everyone! This is my presentation of the Trumpeter 1/32 P-40B, finished as a Hawaiian bird. The model was a contribution to Louis Gardner's and the small team of great friends' idea to build subjects relative to the so important [...]
